If I were Nightmare Knight, I'd just disappear suddenly like he did from Parfait. Because that means he'll inevitably run into the last named character left in the castle.

Cabbage

And we all want a scene between the two.

The best thing would be if Cabbage already knows about the cycle and that's why he's so nonchalant about everything.

Cabbage will encourage NK to be a better villain in a very weird, pushy way, NK will feel pretty uncomfortable.

Peridot's crush on Almond is the most adorable thing (everything in Cucumber Quest is the most adorable thing).


Am I the only one that sees Peridot and Cordelia as more like sisters than like mother and daughter? It's hard to explain why, but it definitely comes across more that way.

Nah, you're not alone. That's the vibe I get as well. To me, this:

It's kind of hilarious (and a little sad) that the world conquering wanted space criminal (granted, one who doesn't seem to be quite sure why she's doing the conquering in the first place) is a better parental figure than Cabbage.

Isn't Cabbage a descendant of one of the previous heroes? I'm pretty certain he does know.

Good times. :3:

Reading a couple pages after that (and also the whole splashmaster chapter) I'm really getting the feeling that the hero was never meant to be a sword guy and it's something everyone's either assuming is true because the macguffin is a sword, or knows it isn't and has simply failed to mention it because it's so obvious (like so much else). I can easily see the story finishing (or at least getting two-thirds done) with "yeah all of this would have been much easier if you'd just gone to school like you wanted".

I really like how the comic keeps exploiting our assumptions. I just automatically assumed that background screaming was part and parcel of spooky bad guy magic. Cucumber Quest is a delight.

"phphphphphphpht"? this is what you're going with?

you sure?
Ok good, at least I'm not the only one who sees Nightmare Knight as the dad in this weird little sitcom family setup.

But seriously though, it's probably killing him inside to see Parfait's love for Carrot and general optimism, then following up with Cordelia's motherly/sisterly affection for Peridot.

This is going to end with a full page spread of him passed out next to a pile of empty whiskey bottles and soggy tubs of ice cream, eyes puffy from crying himself to sleep, isn't it? :(
